Promotion of Physical Well-Being Through Preventive Measures

Human resources are the most valuable resource of an organization. It is just proper that an educational institution like Eastern Visayas State University should look after the physical well-being of officials and employees through the development and maintenance of a program that provides health services such as hospitalization and annual mental, medical-physical examinations. It includes also the allotment of reasonable time for regular fitness exercises, and adaptation of plans for a continuing physical fitness and sports activities. As a matter of policy, the Civil Service Commission directed the University to appropriate funds for the institutionalization of this policy/program.

The Role of the Academe in Social Development

Development is a process of social change, not merely a set of policies and programs instituted for some specific results but the result of society's capacity to organize human energies and productive resources in order to meet the challenges and opportunities that life presents society with all the times. The academe plays a critical role in development by providing the human capital that may respond to the needs of society. The Eastern Visayas State University, through its extension services unit, commits to promote self-reliance and productivity among the community youth, the unemployed and underemployed adults, working men and women from low income communities, differently-abled persons and their organizations and communities through continuous education, transfer of knowledge and technology, and shares the University resources.
